Pockets Project: casting in progres

Pockets Project: porcelain castings of pockets

These castings are made from the interiors of pockets—a portable, private space that we carry around in public with us; a space we experience regularly through our sense of touch, but rarely see. Although largely unconsidered, pockets are an integral part of our daily experience and significantly intertwined with the complex role of clothing and the social body. The pocket is a space to keep things close, a junk drawer for collecting, a space we keep our hands warm and a prop for certain body poses.

Pockets Project: trading porcelain castings for drawing

I trade these castings of pockets with the public for drawings of the things people carry in their pockets.
